New Group Vows Aggressive Advocacy For Unborn

KALISPELL -- Citing a need for greater grassroots activism on the state level, pro-life leaders from across the state have announced the formation of Montana ProLife Coalition, pledging aggressive legislative, political and educational advocacy in behalf of the unborn.

 Founding board members of Montana ProLife Coalition include Kalispell physician Annie Bukacek, Lewistown pastor Robert Snyder, former state legislators Rick Jore of Ronan  and Roger Koopman of Bozeman, and retired businessman Bill Biernat of Lewistown.  Dr. Bukacek was elected acting president.  Snyder and Koopman are outgoing state directors of Right to Life of Montana.

 The new group plans to be “very pro-active,” and will be heavily involved in the current session of the Montana Legislature, “advancing legislation that protects human life at all ages and stages,” Dr. Bukacek said.  This would include support for SB 46, creating by referendum, a constitutional amendment protecting unborn life as a compelling state interest.  Montana ProLife Coalition would also back legislation strengthening parental notification requirements for minors, and supports a proposed bill voicing opposition to the federal Freedom of Choice Act.  “Other pro-life measures are being discussed,” she said, “including a ‘personhood’ amendment similar to that of CI-100.”

 According to Bukacek, Montana ProLife Coalition “is a grassroots, Montana-based citizen’s group that will focus on mobilizing pro-life Montanans who wish to get involved.”  Their long-range plans include the sponsoring of educational programs and presentations, tracking and disseminating legislative voting records, public and private prayer, picketing and peaceful protest.  Local chapters are now being formed, and a website is being created.

 “The value of protecting innocent humans is timeless, unequivocal, and goes to the very core of what in means to be a treasured human being made in God’s image.  It is worth fighting for, and each battle is of value in and of itself, whether there are legal gains or losses.  Furthermore, if we don’t stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves and vigorously oppose their slaughter, we contribute to the progressive decline of this nation,” Dr. Bukacek said.
